Megan Moroney sat in section 312 when she bought tickets to a Kenny Chesney concert in May 2018 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Seven years later, the reigning Country Music Association New Artist of the Year wrote a duet to sing with him. Moroney announced on Wednesday (April 30) that she’ll release a collaboration with Chesney, “You Had To Be There,” on Friday, May 9. She wrote in her caption as she shared a 25-second sneak peek on TikTok: “7 years later got a different point of view...”

Moroney shared a screenshot of her 2018 concert ticket order on Instagram, along with a snapshot of herself standing on stage with Chesney when she joined him on his headlining stadium tour last year. Chesney said in the comments, ”as far as I know this is the first song anyone has written for me . Thank you Megan. I love ya 💙🌴”

In the midst of her headlining “Am I Okay? Tour,” Moroney is also part of the star-studded lineup of the 2025 iHeartCountry Festival, which is slated to take place on Saturday, May 3.
